You will be required to correct any errors directly in the text or in the footnotes. Note that points may be subtracted if you correct an issue that does not need correcting. Not every footnote or section of text will contain errors. This exercise is worth 10% of your total write-on score for Law Review and 25% for both the Gender Journal and WILJ, although WILJ may be subject to change. You will also be expected to use proper citation form when writing the Note for the write-on process.00In the Bluebooking exercise for the combined journal write-on process, you will be given a sample article to check.
